Tokenization

Asset tokenization enables the purchase, sale and exchange of digital assets, potentially representative of any asset, traditional or otherwise. This process facilitates the transfer of economic value and ownership of real-world assets off-chain to the blockchain.

Blockchain technologies have the ability to alleviate friction in our current regulatory, financial and operational systems which relies on its capabilities as a highly efficient piece of transactional and record keeping machinery. 

Anything can be bought, sold, transferred and accounted on the blockchain, with the data relating to those transactions stored in a distributed, immutable ledger for all to be seen on the network. 

Tokenized representations of traditional assets such as cash, bonds, securities and stocks, and even physical commodities such as gold, will be a crucial evolution underpinning future market infrastructure, just as computerized ledgers transformed the previous paper-based generation.

By accelerating and improving tokenization, it will expand the range of new assets, products and services being tokenized beyond traditional ones.
